Another possible identity for Baron Perenolde is that he is Baron Valimar Mordis. Mordis had a small barony in the Alterac Mountains. It is unknown if Mordis is Valimar's real name. Since the first element of his last name — "mor" — is derived from the Latin word for death: "mors" ("Mors" also being the Roman personification of death), it is more than likely it was a name he took up after becoming either Scourge, or later as a Forsaken. In Forsaken naming convention it is standard for an individual to take on a last name representing who he became.[1](WoWRPG 52) This would imply that Baron Mordis would actually have had a different name, when he was alive. It may be possible that Baron Mordis real name was in fact Baron Valimar Perenolde.

As a random hero in Warcraft III, he appears in campaign missions, but on a random basis. It is unknown if he was retconned out of lore, or was never a part of it. His name is most certainly a reference to the Perenolde family.
